Environmental assessment

We analyze products and services from an environmental perspective and over the entire product life cycle - from streamlined to full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to ISO 14040 / ISO 14044.

We are ready to check with you for the evaluation method that is best suited to your goals, and for the right indicators to see where the potential for product improvement lies. The standardized methodology ensures maximum objectivity and transparency and provides entirely new insights into your product.

Product development

As an engineering company we specialize in product development and environmental assessment. We support our clients in the analysis of the current situation, in finding opportunities for improvement, and in guiding them through the process of innovation to develop eco-intelligent products. This opens up new market prospects leading to cost savings by improving efficiency, and enabling improvements in quality through compliance with environmental standards.

Environmental communication

Spread the word! We provide the facts and information you need for your effective environmental communication. Environmental datasheets, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), or energy efficiency labels show the benefits of your product in a clear way and bring a competitive advantage.This enables our customers meeting tender requirements and complying with standards, and they play a leading role as progressive organizations.

Workshops and Training

We offer seminars and company training on the subject of the environmental aspects and impacts of products.Our trainings introduce the approach of Ecodesign and show in which company areas there is potential for its implementation.We present the facts and trends around sustainability of products, the methodological approach to Life Cycle Assessment, to product improvement, to environmental communication, the concrete challenges in design, real product examples, the practical application of tools and the integration of Ecodesign processes into the company structure.

R&D services

We are an ideal SME partner for research projects on Ecodesign, with know-how from research in industrial projects during many years, and with our capacity as a spin-off of the Vienna University of Technology.Our versatile and competent team is ready for new challenges, addressing your research questions in an interdisciplinary way.We are happy to take care of the research application process, starting from proposal preparation all the way to the entire project and grant management.

Ecodesign

Ecodesign is a process for developing and marketing eco-products. It ensures maximum benefit for the customer while causing only a minimum environmental impact.This is our core competence. We begin every product improvement process by assessing the environmental performance of the product over the entire product life cycle. We then support you in improving the product with our ecodesign methodology and hands on approach, and provide you with the insights to communicate the environmental advantages of your product concisely.

Circular Economy

The aim of the circular economy is to "close the loop" at the end of a product life cycle to ensure that products, components and materials are refurbished, reused and recycled. This restorative industrial system is geared towards eliminating waste and retaining the value of products to bring benefits for both the environment and the economy.By guiding you through the process from idea generation to implementation we can help you derive new product and business concepts, fit for the circular economy.

SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of interconnected goals including climate change, innovation and sustainable production patterns. The 17 SDGs are a universal call to action for governments, companies and the public and expand upon the Millennium Development Goals.With our expertise we can support you in measuring, improving and communicating your contribution to achieving important SDGs.
